Win a Beauty Manager Iphone/ Ipod touch App! CLOSED!!!

Tuesday, January 25, 2011 Category : 7

 Adlemi, the Nizx Software Social Media Manager contacted me and asked if I wanted to do a review on a Beauty Manager Application for the iphone/ ipod touch. 

I agreed because I think that an application of this sort is quite valuable to organize our beauty products.  Keep reading because you will get a chance to win a code that allows you to download the app for free from the app Store on itunes.

Name: Beauty Manager application 
What can it do:
  • Keep track of your nail polish collection
  • Manage your personal beauty supplies inventory
  • You can also send e-mail recommendation to your friends from the app
Compatibility: iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Requires iOS 4.0 or later

Here are some pictures I stole from the itunes app store: 



What makes this app really neat are the subcategories: Nails, face, Bath & Body, Eyes, Cheeks, Brushes, and Misc

When you click on nails category you get this screen:

 

I was like ..what is over lacquer and under lacquer??....top coat and base coat =)
I clicked on lacquer and randomly filled in some polishes to test the app out .


When you want to add more polishes, you click on the + sign at the upper right corner, you get a screen that you can fill in with details and then save (I accidentally cut out the save button from this picture)



There's a minor typo on the app, I don't think it's suppose to be purchase date then another purchase date (This is going to get fixed and an updated version will be available on the website later)

The thing I didn't like was that to save the polish you had to put in a price. But it's okay, you can always put in 0.


My top 2 favorite categories actually wasn't Nails, it was brushes and eyes.
Look at all the types of brushes that they have categories for: 


And for eyes they pretty much cover everything.  You can put in all the liners and shadows you have.


I think this is a really fun inventory organizer that you can have on your phone. I have an inventory for nail polish on an excel spreadsheet on the computer.  For this, I can scroll through my makeup inventory when I am waiting for a bus or just bored. I've used it for a few days now and I really like it. I'll update again when I've used this app for a longer period of time.

Pros:
-very organized
-easy to use
-the subcategories are very detailed
-remembers the brands you put in so you don't have to retype them in
-Allows you to put in finish/ type of makeup/ polish i.e. glitter, shimmer, foil, pigment
-has extra room for notes. i.e. brush is not good etc

Cons:
-No wish list option
-No search option
-cannot categorize the items by brand (could go under search, searching for a particular brand)
-No counting option, count how many of OPI I currently own

I've forwarded Nizx Software my cons list and the date purchase duplication problem that I found. They are currently working on fixing and improving the application.  When done, an application update will be available. 

Disclaimer - This app was sent to me for review with no payment. My opinion is an honest one.
